by Andrew Ramer (Author), Jay Michaelson (Foreword by), Camille Shira Angel (Afterword by)

Queering the Text: Biblical, Medieval, and Modern Jewish Stories grapples with traditional midrashim, plays with homoerotic love poems from medieval Spain, and envisions alternate versions of the present. Inspired by the pioneering work of Jewish feminists, using the same narrative tools as the rabbis of old, Ramer has crafted stories that anchor queer lives in the three-thousand-year-old history of the Jewish people.

Author Biography

Andrew Ramer is the author of three other books of midrashim: Torah Told Different: Stories for a Pan/Poly/Post-Denominational World; Deathless: The Complete, Uncensored, Heartbreaking, and Amazing Autobiography of Serach bat Asher, the Oldest Woman in the World; and Fragments of the Brooklyn Talmud. The world's first ordained interfaith maggid (sacred storyteller), he lives in Oakland, California, up the street from an amusement park called Fairyland.
